An Ultra-Good Afternoon!

On Wednesday, April 24, I had the privilege of spending an afternoon in the company of former Tsuburaya Productions scriptwriter Shigemitsu Taguchi. Taguchi-san penned episodes of Return of Ultraman (1971-72), Mirrorman (1971-72), Ultraman Ace (1972-73), Jumborg Ace (1973), Ultraman Taro (1973-74), and Ultraman Leo (1974-75), among several other tokusatsu programs.

It was certainly fascinating learning more about Taguchi-san's prolific career. It was a fun afternoon, and I hope I get to do it again sometime soon!
